When she goes in to file, tell them at the EI office that the employer refuses to give the ROE and they will contact her employer.[/QUOTE]

Not true. Every summer I apply for EI on my last day of work and then turn in my ROE after it comes in the mail.[/QUOTE]

When an employer issue an ROE, it has 3 copies. One for the employee, one for the employer and one for Employment Insurance. If the employer refused to issue an ROE, that means Employment Insurance doesn't get one neither

yao416 is just looking out for his mom and wants the best advice. These employment situations are disruptive and she's probably worried as well...let's help yao416 figure this out. It's not like he's trolling (ahem KK), this is an important question because the economy is declining and our parents may be impacted.

if the employer doesn't want to give out the ROE, then your mom's paystubs could be used to determine her income. EI will do this, once you make it clear that the employer (former) is not sending out the ROE.

In anycase I suggest filing a complaint with the Ministry of Labour.
Try and get the employer in trouble (fined) for not complying with the laws.
